Trump’s move to suspend PERM programme for Indian IT majors raises talent-retention concerns

The US government has announced plans to suspend the PERM programme, which allows Indian IT companies to bring skilled workers to the US. This move raises concerns about talent retention for these companies, as they may struggle to find and keep the skilled workers they need. The suspension could lead to a shortage of skilled workers, making it harder for the companies to operate in the US. This could ultimately impact the US economy, particularly in the tech sector, where Indian IT companies play a significant role.

Why it matters

Trump's move to suspend the PERM programme could complicate talent management for Indian IT majors, potentially accelerating the shift towards offshore delivery and alternative technology hubs. This could lead to a decrease in demand for Indian IT services.
